<p>So, clearly someone with some perspective advised her to back off this idea. But the way her agent sells it, it sounds like she decided not to because of logistics!</p>
<p>Her agent, Max Eisenbud, told ESPN: "Maria has pushed her team to do fun, out-of-the-box-type things to get the word out about Sugarpova," Eisenbud said.
